One of my favorite Author's has done it again! His latest book is hilarious, and the kids in my class love it! What's it about?? Well - LICE, Ick, I know we don't want to talk about that, but take a look at how David Shannon has made an ugly issue easy to talk (and laugh) about!
If you've ever seen them, had them, or had them in your home, you know these little things can take over your life completely. In his usual style David Shannon make shares the problem in a funny but realistic way, that kids will identify with and laugh at.
Even though those little guys are barley visible, they feel like they are huge. What are they doing hanging out on our heads anyway, it's just one big party right!!
Sending them backing isn't the easiest thing to do, but when mom gets out her special lice weapons they will have to go!
This book is another great read from a great author. My students laughed right through it and I did too. It's not the easiest topic to talk about, but many of us as teachers have dealt with them in someway or another. I think the book is a great way to introduce a touchy subject and have a candid talk about how frequent they real do show up.

I love the book No, David. When I worked as a volunteer aide at a school, the teacher would read them and the children would laugh at the pictures. They love the David series.

I love David Goes to School...the kids can totally relate to his day! This book looks great, so I will have to check it out...unless I win it!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is A Bad Case of Stripes! I'm going to need to look into this newest book. It was brought to my attention yesterday that there may be a few misconceptions about lice in my room!
